  • Staff Sgt. Katherine Stanton, 15th Airlift Squadron loadmaster, completes one-on-one hypoxia training in the Reduced Oxygen Breathing Device and Hypoxia Familiarization Trainer.

This allows Airmen to see how hypoxia affects their motor skills and to experience their symptoms in a low risk environment.
